Ahead of our event, Wakaliwood Forever, we spoke to two of the Ugandan studio’s creative minds – director Isaac Nabwana and producer Alan Hofmanis – to talk about the popularity of their action films, how the studio is expanding and what new projects they’re currently working on.

We spoke to the director of Kickboxer, Lady Dragon, Lady Dragon 2, Shark Attack 2 and Shark Attack 3: Megalodonabout his long career and working with everyone from JCVD to Clint Eastwood to Cynthia Rothrock and John Barrowman.

Tammy And The T-Rex. Mac and Me. Mannequin 2: On The Move. The Ice Pirates. With such a number of unique films to his name, we tracked down British-born director Stewart Raffill to talk about crazy product placement, Paul Rudd using your films to troll talk show hosts and putting Paul Walker’s brain into a robotic dinosaur.

The Cosmic Shed and Bristol Bad Film Club were lucky enough to go to MCM London Comic Con and speak to one of our favourite action stars Scott Adkins, who was promoting his long-time passion project Accident Man.

For our screening of Undefeatable, we spoke to queen of martial arts Cynthia Rothrock about working with Z-list director Godfrey Ho, being a female action star in a male dominated genre and why she wasn’t in The Expendables!

During the 1980s, Cynthia Rothrock was the sole female martial arts star of action cinema in the West. Starring in over 45 action films including China O’Brien, Tiger Claws and Hong Kong classics like Police Assassins (aka Yes Madam).

With black belts in seven forms of disciplines including Tang Soo Do, Taekwondo, Eagle Claw, Wushu, Northern Shaolin and Pai Lum Tao Kung Fu, she is a true action legend and it was a pleasure to talk to her about her career.
